Np, just go to either Zippo website (CDN or USA) and pick out your lighter. The USA website has way more selection. When you order the lighter also order a two burner butane insert. When you get’em slide out the original lighter fluid insert and replace it with the butane version. Voila!

That looks great! I need to find my old zippos!

I did the same thing a few years back. Worked well until I dropped the lighter and the insert cracked. I recently got a new butane insert from eBay, but soft flame instead of jet this time. Can be used for pipes as well.

Hey @bikermarc, I’m assuming that’s butane.

Yes it is @Yukon Jack . That’s what I meant by ”new butane insert”. 😜
